Polytech Mak90

[ak4u]

Its being advertised as a Polytech Mak 90 with thumbhole stock. Stamped receiver. Thats about all I know about it. Never heard of them but would like to know if there are any. thanks for any help anyone can give.

No Poly Tech were imported marked MAK-90. They were marked SP. The advertiser is most likly saying MAK-90 so people will know it is a AK type post ban rifle.

JA I must say you are wrong on that one :-) I have only seen one in my life, and it had a lot of "customs" marks, but it was a PolyTech AKS 762 re-marked as MAK-90 (in silver as its the customs stamp). Weird if I've ever seen one but hey, go figure!

[ak4u]

Are these rifles OK or should I shy away from it. Selling for around $340

I emailed the guy, and he told me it was just like China Sports said. It came in as an AK, was held up in customs, and remarked Mac 90. I guess they did'nt exactly do a Clark Custom job of marking out AK 47 and placing Mac 90 on it, but it should be a good gun anyway.

Thanks for all your help. It sounds like it may be OK.

Can anyone tell me (good or bad) what they know about a Polytech Mak90? Need to know by 8:00 tonite. Thanks for a quick reply.

[Polyak]

Are you sure it is labeled a Poly Tech Mak90? I don't know all the models of Poly Techs but I haven't heard of that one. Maybe it's a Norinco Mak 90 or just a Poly Tech AKS or something. Maybe someone else has heard of one?

ak4u,
So did you buy it?

[ak4u]

No, outbidded at the last minute? Thanks for all your help. Guess I'll just have to be quicker on the next bid.

I have what I believe to be a Poly-Tech Mak 90, and I was wondering what you could tell me about it.

Stamped reciever, for what it's worth.
It has a 386 in an oval next to the serial number. I believe this means "Poly-Tech"
Stop me here if I'm wrong, please

The serial number is CW-1XXXX

Below that, there is a portion where a marking was stamped out, and "MAK-90 Sporter" scratched in, over the finish.
Below that, it says
"Cal 7.62x39MM
Semi-Auto"

On the end at which the stock attaches, the following markings are scratched in
"GBE L.A. CA
MADE IN CHINA"

It has a thumbhole stock, and no bayo lug, or threads.


Thank you for any info or thoughts on this.
